"On March 5th I posted this in progress but now it’s complete and I’m pleased to be able to show it done. I was approached by a gallery in Tel Aviv before completing it and it will be available from them in due course, and in the meantime my thanks to my handsome model, Richard, who posed for it. Late substitutions include a Wedgewood teacup instead of a mug and Fredrick, Lord Leighton’s bronze The Sluggard, which actually lives in my sitting room, brought in as a little extra layer of meaning."
